Drew Loftis

Background

Drew Loftis is a mild-mannered Sunday Sports Editor for the New York Post. A child of North Carolina, he spent eight years at UNCC before being hired by his hometown newspaper, the Shelby Star, late last century. A couple years later, he bꦛecame the Sports Editor and later City Editor for The Free Press in Ki💞nston, N.C. Drew first arrived in the big city in 2005, making the leap from the Single-A network of small daily newspapers to the major leagues at the NYP.

But Drew isn’t just an editor. He also is a terrible joke-teller, horrible name-pronouncer, huge Batman fan, and graced with a face for radio and a voice for print. And, Drew is something else. He is also the alter ego of the infamous Fantasy Madman - the fantasy football fanatic who routinely plaꦿys dozens and dozens of leagues every season like a luꦚnatic.

Luckily for the readers of The Post, the Madman uses his powers for good, sharing the knowledge and strategies he has learned over his decades of pathological obsession. ꦗYou can find his work at the NYP under the Fantasy Insanity banner, where he fights for truth, s♊coring and fantasy domination throughout the football season.
